🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸
Twenty-five years ago today, on a beautiful Tuesday morning, America changed forever.
On September 11, 2001, thousands of ordinary people went to work, boarded airplanes, kissed their families goodbye, and began what they believed would be another ordinary day.
Then came the moments that would forever be written into our nation’s history:
🕗 8:46 AM — American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
🕘 9:03 AM — United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
🕤 9:37 AM — American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
🕙 10:03 AM — United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after courageous passengers and crew fought back against the hijackers. Their bravery prevented that aircraft from reaching its intended target.
In a little more than an hour, our nation was forever changed.
Today, we remember the men, women, and children whose lives were taken that morning. We remember the families who never got another goodbye, another hug, another phone call, or another chance to say, “I love you.”
We honor the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, rescue workers, military personnel, medical professionals, dispatchers, and countless volunteers who ran toward danger while others were trying to escape it.
Some gave their lives that very day. Others spent days, weeks, and months searching through the devastation, and many later became sick or lost their lives because of the work they performed at Ground Zero and the other attack sites.
They represented the very best of America — courage, sacrifice, service, compassion, and love for one another.
On this day, may we also remember something else about September 11th: in the hours and days that followed, Americans came together. We weren’t strangers. We weren’t divided by neighborhoods, backgrounds, beliefs, or differences.
We were Americans.
May we never forget the innocent lives that were taken.
May we never forget those who answered the call.
May we never forget those who sacrificed everything trying to save someone they had never even met.
May we continue to pray for the families who carry those losses with them every single day.
🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 🇺🇸
Remember the fallen. Honor the heroes. Cherish our freedom.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
